"The Realities of a Gunfight"

[english kanigit]

Essay is by Greg Ellifritz and I found this courtesy of our own Prdator during my morning reading.


If you have anything to do with carrying a firearm for defense then it is your responsibility to seek competent training. Don't be a lowest common denominator statistic.

From the tail end:

The average police officer is not a highly trained gunfighter. Police training isn’t nearly as complete as most expect it to be. It clearly wasn’t enough to give this officer the ability to win her gunfight. Even though most police training is inadequate, it is FAR more extensive than any CCW class. What makes you think your four-hour certification class gives you the skills you need to win a gunfight?


If you carry a gun, you probably need more training than you currently have. Training in the above listed concepts is widely available to everyone in the USA. It’s up to you to seek it out.

Who thinks that? That "essay" looks to be more of a lengthy advertisement for his class to me.

No doubt of that and I wish him well in his business endeavors but there is a message there that needs to get driven into the eyeballs of those who carry a gun as if it were a talisman.

Who thinks that?

A frighteningly large number of folks...folks who think that simply owning a gun makes them a gunfighter. Throw an 8 hour SDA class in on top of that and many folks think they are straight up ninja.
